Chris Botti Tickets

First row, near center stage, not five feet from the performers! Talent, interaction, performance and experience, all exceptional. Seats closest to center stage may have some restricted view (blocked by sound blaster speakers. Just left and just right of center may have more unrestricted visibility. This is our third Botti concert at this venue and we've already made plans to return again next year. This is a concert that is definitely in the "Don't Miss It"category.

Chris Botti never disappoints! Great venue and cast of performers. Very entertaining Can't wait till next concert

The only truly enjoyable pieces of the evening were the two selections featuring the violin from earlier albums. Those performances captured the elegance and emotional quality I’ve always associated with Chris Botti. Unfortunately, the rest of the concert did not have the same appeal. The extended solos and excessive “jam sessions” from individual musicians—especially the drummer—felt overdone and detracted from the sophistication of the music. It lost the refined style that makes Botti’s concerts special. Another issue was the audience experience. I paid for premium seating in the A row, yet the couple next to me spent a good portion of the performance texting on their phones. The glare from their screens was distracting, and I was surprised that no ushers intervened, as this is something that should be addressed at a performance of this caliber. Additionally, there was no intermission. Most cultural events include at least a 20-minute break, which allows the audience to reset and fully appreciate the second half of the program. The continuous format made the concert feel rushed and somewhat fatiguing. It pains me to say this because I truly love Chris Botti’s music and have attended several of his concerts over the years. However, this was one of the least enjoyable experiences I’ve had—perhaps a C- at best. My hope is that this feedback helps enhance future performances and restores the elegance and cultural polish that have always set his concerts apart.

My wife and I see Chris every year at the Wilbur Theater. His performance and the talented people he brings with him are fantastic. Can't wait until next year.

I see Chris Botti every year; last couple of years MUCH better! Not sure about his guests this year.

Show started kind of slow but special guests really ignited the evening. All in all enjoyed the evening.

One of the best concerts I have ever attended. Beautiful music, surprising guest appearances and absolutely uplifting and beautiful event! We hope to see them again.

Great music. Unfortunately, our city does not appreciate nice smooth jazz music. There are tons of musicians I keep up with who would bring great concerts to El Paso...in the likes of Dave Koz, Boney James, Grover Washington, Euge Groove etc. Unfortunately, El Paso will not support them. Look at the small attendance at the Botti event. You all can push this.

LOVE EVERY SINGLE MINUTE OF THE CONCERT AND ENJOYED THE COMPANY

Discovered Botti when he opened for Sting in 2000. We've seen him 6 times since. Great showman. I like how he brings along new talent for introduction.
